“What in the world is this!?” Yang Kai floated in the Starry Sky, rubbing his chin as he studied the sight in front of him in astonishment. The huge ck ball transformed from the Sealed World Bead was floating in front of him, but the surface of the ck ball had split to form a mouth! It was an extremelyrge mouth, and an extremely terrifying one at that.
The mouth split open, stretching out 100 kilometres. It was like an enormous Void Crack, but that wasn’t all; its mouth was filled with sharp fangs. Whenever its mouth opened and closed, there was a crunching sound as though it was chewing on everything that existed in this world. Even Yang Kai found it rather creepy to look at.
When the Sealed World Bead finished swallowing up the entire Netherworld Star, the ck ball had undergone a violent squirming transformation and changed into this form.
Yang Kai nearly found the change uneptable. Why did his Sealed World Bead be like this? No, strictly speaking, the Sealed World Bead hadn’t changed much. It was still just a longan-sized bead. What changed was the Devouring Domain of the Sealed World Bead. What kind of monster had he created by allowing it to use the entire Netherworld Star as nourishment?
As Yang Kai had surmised, the current Devouring Domain of the Sealed World Bead looked just like a monster at first nce. It was round and bouncy; it had an enormous jet-ck body with no facial features; it only had arge mouth filled with dense fangs. It was extremely odd and ferocious.
“The World’s Will?” Yang Kai frowned while muttering to himself. The messageing from the Sealed World Bead was bing clearer and clearer. He could feel a sense of desire and hungering from it. [Could this be the Small Sealed World’s Will? Or, should I say that it’s now an Artifact Spirit?]
The Sealed World Bead was nothing but an Emperor Artifact. It was an Emperor Artifact without consciousness, yet at this very moment, it looked as if it was alive.
This ck Ball Monster, which was sorge that even Yang Kai would feel insignificant after using his Dragon Transformation, was probably the Artifact Spirit of the Sealed World Bead. Its consciousness was not very obvious yet since it was only in its budding state. It simply instinctively wanted to devour more. Hence, thatrge mouth and fangs were the manifestation of the Artifact Spirit’s instinct.
“Hah!” Yang Kaiughed, suddenly recalling the ck puppy with the Abyssal Returner bloodline that he had left behind in High Heaven Pce. [Why does everything rted to me seem to have the ability to devour? First, the ck puppy. Then, the Sealed World Bead. Let’s not forget my Embodiment too. I wonder if it’s due to providence or fate.]
Nevertheless, the Embodiment and the Sealed World Bead’s devouring was a little different from the ck puppy’s devouring. The former two relied on the Heaven Devouring Battle Law while the ck puppy relied on its Innate Divine Ability. In the end, it was all for the sake of strengthening themselves.
A sudden thought shed through Yang Kai’s head. [Did Wu Kuang meet an Abyssal Returner back then? Is that why he created the Heaven Devouring Battle Law based on the characteristics of an Abyssal Returner? If that’s the case, their simrity to each other makes sense.]
*Kacha ca…* The sound of teeth ttering against each other rang out continuously as if urging Yang Kai to hurry up.
“Alright! Alright! I’ll bring you to the next ce!” Yang Kai started to look around for his next target. It was not a bad thing for the Sealed World Bead to grow its own Will, even if it was vague. Anyplete world would have a Will of its own. Such a World Will was invisible and intangible, but it affected all the lives that lived on it. If the Small Sealed World could obtain such an opportunity, then it would be extremely beneficial for its future growth.
[It’s just… Where should we go? The Star Field is so vast and if we don’t get the direction right, we might end up wasting a lot of time travelling. Ah! I got it!] Yang Kai lifted his head and looked in a certain direction. Shifting his body slightly, he stood on top of the ck ball and sat down cross-legged. Waving hisrge hand, he ordered, “Let’s go!”
The ck ball seemed to understand hismand and there was no need for him to actively control it; it moved in that direction on its own. Moreover, it moved rather quickly, its teeth crunching against each other while flying, making a disturbing sound the entire journey.
Choosing this direction was not without reason. It was simply the direction in which many of Netherworld Star’s cultivators had fled when they were escaping. Yang Kai might not know the distribution of the Cultivation Stars in Grand Destion Star Field, but there was no way these natives did not know. If they had been heading in this direction, then it could only mean that there were other Cultivation Stars this way too.
One man and one ck ball floated through the Starry Sky, heading towards an unknown destination. This scene was indescribably strange. The ck ball that could engulf a Star did not seem to have any effect on Yang Kai. Rather, it even transformed into a carrier of sorts that he could ride freely.
Reaching out under him, Yang Kai patted his new ‘mount’ he had newly obtained. It was very soft to the touch, almost like touching a cloud, a sensation that did not match its hideous appearance at all. If it stopped ttering its teeth all the time and kept its mouth shut, it might look rather adorable. It was just that it was just born and its instinct to devour was causing it to constantly make biting movements; therefore, he couldn’t be bothered to stop it either.
“I should think of a name for you. I can’t just keep calling you ‘ck ball’.” Yang Kai rubbed his chin and murmured under his breath. The ck ball was simr to the original Liu Yan, a mere manifestation of her Artifact Refining Furnace until he gave her a name.
“I know!” His eyes brightened and he snapped his fingers in delight, “I’ll call you Gun-Gun from now on!”
It had rolled across the entire Netherworld Star and swallowed it in the process. The name ‘Gun-Gun’ just seemed fitting.
*Kacha ca…* The teeth ttered against each other, making a crisp clickety-ck sound.
“You think it’s a good name too, don’t you? Let’s go with that then.” Yang Kai smiled, feeling like he was a genius at giving names. Then, he pped his hands together and looked slightly distressed, “I can’t favour one over the other. Let’s name the Abyssal Returner ‘Xiao Hei’.”
As soon as he decided, hebelled the savage Abyssal Returner which terrorized the Demon Realm, nearly bringing it to destruction, with an inescapable new name. Who knows what the Demon Kings and the Demon Saints would feel when they learned about this?
“Go forth, Gun-Gun!” Yang Kai pointed forward, his heart dancing with joy like a child who had gotten a new toy.
*Kachaca!*
“Devour, Gun-Gun!”
*Kachaca!*
Along the way, they ran into several enormous asteroids. Gun-Gun rolled past them and opened its mouth, swallowing those asteroids into its belly and storing them in the Small Sealed World.
Nevertheless, Yang Kai could clearly sense that Gun-Gun was not very fond of the taste of those asteroids. If Netherworld Star from before was a delicious dish, then these asteroids would be simr to stale bread, extremely hard to swallow andcking all vour.
They encountered more asteroids on several other asions while wandering the Starry Sky; however, Gun-Gun was no longer interested in eating them. Even Dead Stars could hardly arouse its interest. On the other hand, it would change directions once in a while without seeking guidance from Yang Kai. It was as though it had a keen sense of smell and could detect the direction these delicious aromas wereing from.
Yang Kai did not stop it, and one monthter, he confirmed his conjecture. A Star that was not much smaller than the Netherworld Star appeared in the distance. Even withoutnding on it, he could tell that it was an extraordinary Cultivation Star.
[Gun-Gun really does know where Cultivation Stars are located!]
…..
On High Seas Star, all living creatures lifted their heads to stare up into the sky, reacting as though they were facing a terrible enemy.
A few days ago, a small ck spot appeared in the sky. It was located between High Seas Star and the Sun Star. In the beginning, not many people cared about it; however, the ck spot grew bigger and bigger as the days passed, and now, it blocked out the sun entirely, plunging High Seas Star into utter darkness as if an eclipse was urring. All living creatures present were feeling uneasy as an inexplicable sense of crisis bloomed in their hearts.
Even the seas were violent and choppy with stormy waves breaking across the surface. More than 80% of High Seas Star was covered in water. Various inds of all shapes and sizes were scattered across the surface like chess pieces on a board, creating a space where the living creatures of High Seas Star could settle. This was a world dominated by the Sea n. Humans and other Monster Beasts had very little space to live on this Star.
Looking up at the darkness blocking the Sun, many of the Sea n couldn’t help but think of the rumours circting in the past month regarding the ck ball. It was said that everywhere the ck ball passed, everything would be devoured and all living creatures would cease to exist!
The origin of this rumour was from some Humans who had fled here. ording to these people, they hade from the Netherworld Star where a terrifying devil had arrived and used a giant ck ball to devour both the Heavens and Earth, literally swallowing up the entire Netherworld Star.
The Sea n had always proimed themselves as nobler than other races and they despised those of the Human Race and the Monster Race. Moreover, they felt that those who were born onnd were extremely dirty and despicable, especially the refugees who had fled to this Star.
None of the Sea n had taken those rumours seriously, but the rumours still spread very quickly. In less than one month, most of the Sea n of High Seas Star had at least heard about this wild story. It wasn’t until this moment when they looked up at the ck ball that the recent rumours couldn’t helping to the forefront of their minds. They couldn’t help feeling uneasy as a result.
[Is there really darkness in this world that can devour both the Heavens and Earth?]
The world rumbled and a figure flew out from arge ind and headed towards the darkness. When the members of the Sea n saw this person, their uneasy moods suddenly stabilized.
“It’s Senior Ao Wei!”
“That’s right! We have Senior Ao Wei! Why should we be afraid of that ck ball?”
“If it dares toe here, Senior Ao Wei will surely show it who’s boss!”
“They are walking right to their deaths. Do they think High Seas Star is on the same level as the Netherworld Star!?”
The members of the Sea n shouted in excitement. The chants of the name ‘Ao Wei’ turned into a wave, creating an aura that almost overshadowed the world.
Ao Wei was the strongest Master on High Seas Star. He was regarded by all of the Sea n as its greatest hero, one who protected this world. It seemed as though he only needed to make a move and the ck ball heading towards High Seas Star would be wiped out immediately. The belief of hundreds of millions of living creatures seemed to transform into a tangible substance, blessing Ao Wei and allowing him to adhere to the World’s Will. At this moment, he could be said to be an invincible existence.
It was a pity that no one noticed that Ao Wei’s expression was extremely solemn. Even if the fortune of the Heavens and Earth, as well as the collective will of hundreds of millions of living creatures, converged on him, he still couldn’t help shivering. The thought of turning around and running away was surging in him; however, he was the Star Master of this Star. Even if everybody else could escape, where could he run?
He lifted his head and stared up at the ck ball with feelings of despair and fear. These emotions did not originate from him, they came straight from the Will of High Seas Star. It was an emotion that the Star Source was sending him and that made him extremely uneasy. It felt as though a mouse had met a cat or a rabbit had encountered a falcon. The Star had met its natural enemy.
Ao Wei stood in ce and could barely muster up the courage to fly upward. He could only wait for the ck ball to arrive as he racked his brains to figure out how to resolve the crisis before him.
